DAY 2--Am I Cheating?

Day 2 of Do Something New Everyday Challenge- October 20, 2012

Aigooo...it's only been two days and yet I am already failing! I couldn't come up with any cool new things to do....(or maybe I was being too lazy today hehehehehe).

I woke up today and took a shower and ate and then studied. Then I cleaned the heck outta my room. I discovered today that used dryer sheets are the best thing to remove dust with. Using paper towels isn't as effective cuz the dust forms little dust balls that refuse to get off the surface. They, however, cling to the dryer sheet and hang on for dear life. After my bathroom was gleaming and I could see my reflection on the kitchen counter, I decided to call it a day. Good timing too cuz I was starting to hallucinate from the fantastick fume. (btw: fantastick= BEST CLEANING PRODUCT EVER)

I thought about what exciting thing i could do. I even scoured the internet for ideas. Most of them involved getting dressed and going outside. "REJECT" said my lazy bum. So I did the next best thing. I got dressed and fully put on my make-up, all the while dancing to Spanish hip-hop (Las manos arribas, cintura sola, da media vuelta, danza kuduro :))And then I watched THE SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELING PANTS while i did my nails.So, I effectively had a girls- sleepover- party all by myself. (I'm Mr. Lonely...I have nobody for my own..ooooooooooo)

While reading the book version of it back in like middle school, I was so in loved with Lena and Kostas's romance and secretly wished for a love story like theirs. They're so cute together! Watching it in the movies wasn't as magical for me...but it definitely confirmed my wish to have my honeymoon in Greece. SO PRETTY. Watching the movie, I was much more affected by Carmen's daddy issues story. I cried and my heart positively bled for her.

It was late and I thought I could count this girls-party for one as my "something new". I kinda felt guilty about it cuz i have done my nails while watching chick-flicks by myself before. I just never had called it girls-sleepover-party for one. But I was tired, so I crawled to my bed.

"STOOOOOOOOOP" screamed my brain before I could pounce on my bed. Earlier that day I had change the sheets for fresh, new linens. My bed smelled so fresh and clean and I felt DIRTY and UNWORTHY to lie upon it. Why dirty? Well, I had cleaned the room, the bathroom and the kitchen all day...and I just felt unclean...I needed to a shower before bed! "NONSENSE.RUBBISH!" snapped my lazy half of the brain. It was nonsense, I had taken a shower in the morning and change into a pj AND I knew I will be showering again early morning the next day. And I didn't even sweat or anything while cleaning. As I moved to climb onto the bed again, the opportunistic in me whispered, "Go take a shower...you can blog about it.". So I turned and marched into the bathroom and did just that.

I still kinda felt guilty cuz I have taken a shower near bedtime before. And I have showered more than once on a single day (HELLOOOOO RANGOON ;) ). But I shrugged it off and slid the shower curtain open. Just as I was about to step out of the tub, my conscience partnered with the daredevil in me and before I could stop them, they turned the faucet all the way to cold and made me stand under the freezing water for a full minute. Brrrrrrr...I wanted nothing more than a towel heater when I got out...

The shower was really refreshing and I think I had a really nice sleep cuz of it. Of course, I was already very relaxed from my movie-and-manicure session. Since I kinda have done them both before, I know they don't really count as "new things". Each is like half of a new thing. Therefore, I hereby invoke the laws of math (.5 + .5 =1) and declare that movie&manicure + cold shower before bed= 1 new thing...

What's that? cheater, cheater, pumpkin eaters? Stop chanting that! I promise to do an amazing new thing tomorrow!!! peace out :)
